Hi
I have the above mentioned laptop and I use it mainly for productivity, browsing, streaming videos, etc. - simple use.
The one thing that's on the heavier side of usage is playing games - I'm not a big gamer, I only have DotA2 on my laptop. I play it on low settings every now and then.
Whenever I'm playing, the fan goes on full power, and the laptop heats up significantly. The heat particularly is generated on the top right side of the laptop.
Note: the laptop isn't older than 5 months.
I have:
I checked the temps on coretemp and its usually in between 70-80 C. And 50-60 during normal usage.
Any suggestions, causes, etc. as to why this happens?
Thanks

I have:
- Opened the underlid and cleaned it form the inside (although being new, it hasn't caught much dust/dirt).
- Updated the firmware to the latest.
- Do not keep the fan intake vents blocked. I use a laptop stand which elevates it from below keeping enough room between the surface and the underside.
